ALBAWABA- The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reports that Britain is poised to announce a suspension of arms exports to Israel. This decision is partly influenced by Israel’s refusal to allow the Red Cross access to detainees in the Sde Teiman camp.

 According to The Telegraph, a British government spokesperson indicated that a review of Israel’s adherence to international law is still in progress.

The potential halt in arms exports has sparked significant concern and frustration within the Israeli government. 

The newly formed British administration has called for an immediate ceasefire, warning of further escalation and describing the situation in Gaza as unbearable. 

Additionally, the British government has threatened to impose sanctions on Israeli ministers, following potential U.S. actions in this regard due to the Israeli violence and annexation plans in the West Bank.
